We have audited the accompanying Standalone FinancialStatements of HEG Limited ('the Company'), which comprisethe Standalone Balance Sheet as at March 31, 2026, theStandalone Statement of Profit and Loss (including OtherComprehensive Income), the Standalone Statement of Changesin Equity, the Standalone Statement of Cash flows for the yearthen ended and notes to the Standalone Financial Statements,including a summary of the material accounting policies andother explanatory information (hereinafter referred to as "theStandalone Financial Statements").
In our opinion and to the best of our information and accordingto the explanations given to us, the Standalone FinancialStatements give the information required by the CompaniesAct, 2013 ("the Act") in the manner so required and give atrue and fair view in conformity with the Indian AccountingStandards prescribed under section 133 of the Act read withthe Companies (Indian Accounting Standards) Rules, 2015, asamended ("Ind AS") and other accounting principles generallyaccepted in India, of the state of affairs of the Company as atMarch 31,2026, and its profit and total comprehensive income,changes in equity and its cash flows for the year ended onthat date.
We conducted our audit of the Standalone FinancialStatements in accordance with the Standards on Auditing (SAs)specified under section 143(10) of the Act. Our responsibilitiesunder those Standards are further described in the Auditor'sResponsibilities for the Audit of the Standalone FinancialStatements section of our report. We are independent of theCompany in accordance with the Code of Ethics issued bythe Institute of Chartered Accountants of India together withthe ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of theStandalone Financial Statements under the provisions of the Actand the Rules made thereunder, and we have fulfilled our otherethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirementsand the Code of Ethics. We believe that the audit evidence wehave obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basisfor our audit opinion on the Standalone Financial Statements.
Key Audit Matters are those matters that in our professionaljudgment were of most significance in our audit of theStandalone Financial Statements for the year ended March31, 2026. These matters were addressed in the context ofour audit of the Standalone Financial Statements as a wholeand in forming our opinion thereon and we do not provide aseparate opinion on these matters. We have determined thematters described below to be the Key Audit Matters to becommunicated in our report.
The Company's Board of Directors is responsible for the otherinformation. The other information comprises the informationincluded in Annual Report but does not include the StandaloneFinancial Statements and our auditor's report thereon.
Our opinion on the Standalone Financial Statements does notcover the other information and we do not express any form ofassurance conclusion thereon.
In connection with our audit of the Standalone FinancialStatements, our responsibility is to read the other informationidentified above and, in doing so, consider whether the otherinformation is materially inconsistent with the StandaloneFinancial Statements or our knowledge obtained in the audit,or otherwise appears to be materially misstated.
If, based on the work we have performed we conclude thatthere is a material misstatement of this other information, weare required to report that fact. We have nothing to report inthis regard.
The Company's Board of Directors is responsible for the mattersstated in Section 134(5) of the Companies Act, 2013 ("the Act")with respect to the preparation of these Standalone FinancialStatements that give a true and fair view of the financial position,financial performance, total comprehensive income, changes inequity and cash flows of the Company in accordance with theaccounting principles generally accepted in India, including theIndian Accounting Standards specified under section 133 of theAct. This responsibility also includes maintenance of adequateaccounting records in accordance with the provisions of the Actfor safeguarding the assets of the Company and for preventingand detecting frauds and other irregularities; selection andapplication of appropriate accounting policies; makingjudgments and estimates that are reasonable and prudent;and the design, implementation and maintenance of adequateinternal financial controls, that were operating effectively forensuring the accuracy and completeness of the accounting
records, relevant to the preparation and presentation of theStandalone Financial Statements that give a true and fair viewand are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraudor error.
In preparing the Standalone Financial Statements, themanagement and the Board of Directors are responsible forassessing the Company's ability to continue as a going concern,disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concernand using the going concern basis of accounting unless themanagement either intends to liquidate the Company or tocease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so.
The Board of Directors are also responsible for overseeing theCompany's financial reporting process.
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whetherthe Standalone Financial Statements as a whole are free frommaterial misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and toissue an auditor's report that includes our opinion. Reasonableassurance is a high level of assurance but is not a guarantee thatan audit conducted in accordance with SAs will always detect amaterial misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arisefrom fraud or error and are considered material if, individuallyor in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected toinfluence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis ofthese Standalone Financial Statements.
As part of an audit in accordance with SAs, we exerciseprofessional judgment and maintain professional skepticismthroughout the audit. We also:
• Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement ofthe Standalone Financial Statements, whether due to fraudor error, design and perform audit procedures responsiveto those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficientand appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. Therisk of not detecting a material misstatement resultingfrom fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, asfraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions,misrepresentations, or the override of internal control.
• Obtain an understanding of internal financial controlsrelevant to the audit in order to design audit proceduresthat are appropriate in the circumstances. Under section143(3)(i) of the Act, we are also responsible for expressingour opinion on whether the Company has adequateinternal financial controls system in place and theoperating effectiveness of such controls.
• Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies usedand the reasonableness of accounting estimates andrelated disclosures made by management.
• Conclude on the appropriateness of management's use ofthe going concern basis of accounting and, based on theaudit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertaintyexists related to events or conditions that may castsignificant doubt on the Company's ability to continue as agoing concern. If we conclude that a material uncertaintyexists, we are required to draw attention in our auditor'sreport to the related disclosures in the StandaloneFinancial Statements or, if such disclosures are inadequate,to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on theaudit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditor'sreport. However, future events or conditions may causethe Company to cease to continue as a going concern.
• Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and contentof the Standalone Financial Statements, including thedisclosures, and whether the Standalone FinancialStatements represent the underlying transactions andevents in a manner that achieves fair presentation.
Materiality is the magnitude of misstatements in the financialstatements that, individually or in aggregate, makes it probablethat the economic decisions of a reasonably knowledgeableuser of the financial statements may be influenced. We considerquantitative materiality and qualitative factors in (i) planningthe scope of our audit work and in evaluating the resultsof our work; and (ii) to evaluate the effect of any identifiedmisstatements in the financial statements.
We communicate with those charged with governanceregarding, among other matters, the planned scope andtiming of the audit and significant audit findings, includingany significant deficiencies in internal control that we identifyduring our audit.
We also provide those charged with governance with astatement that we have complied with relevant ethicalrequirements regarding independence, and to communicatewith them all relationships and other matters that mayreasonably be thought to bear on our independence, andwhere applicable, related safeguards.
From the matters communicated with those charged withgovernance, we determine those matters that were of mostsignificance in the audit of the Standalone Financial Statementsof the current period and are therefore the key audit matters.We describe these matters in our auditor's report unless lawor regulation precludes public disclosure about the matteror when, in extremely rare circumstances, we determine thata matter should not be communicated in our report becausethe adverse consequences of doing so would reasonably beexpected to outweigh the public interest benefits of suchcommunication.
